Have you tried root as username and leave password blank.

Host = IP address of receiver.
User = root
Password = leave blank unless you have changed it. (Actually any password will work until you set one.)
Port = leave blank uness you have changed it

After hours of searching the forum and acting on members advice and tutorials i have finally managed to get my sf8 working,first with fta and now scrambled channels.Now i'll try to set up a channel list.I'd like to thank the vix guys and members for their help.
